Do We Realize?

I know I know I haven't even completed Isabella's 25 random things yet, well actually I did and it got deleted, but I wanted to write this first. Some big things are going on around here and I love to blog to get things off my chest. I am not shy at all about the fact that, GASP things upset me!! I know right? Who knew! I thought that was why a lot of people blogged but I guess there are other great reasons too.

Anyway I was just thinking today, do we even realize how our actions or words affect others? I know I am guilty too so I am not pointing any fingers.

Blaine and I have been thinking about leaving our church. I won't go into the details right now but I will say some. Blaine has wanted to for a very long time but I kept pushing him that we had to give it time, we had to get to know everyone. It's been over a year later and nothing has really changed his mind.

On another note, the kids had their first visit with Dr. Aldrich today. They loved him, I loved him. He gave me cream for Olivia's skin condition, which he says is not Eczema nor Psoriasis, but dermatitis and will go away around age 8 or so. yay!

Another thing is, I didn't realize. Like I said I am guilty too. Bryceton has been having issues in school the past 3 years. His teachers told me he disrupts class, he doesn't stay focused, he hasn't been turning in his home work. The boy is brilliant. Way beyond his age. So me, being in my own little world, thinks it's a discipline problem. He has been grounded 3/4 of his school life. He is constantly in trouble for doodling at school or making paper objects. I thought he was thick headed to not grasp that he was going to be in trouble. When filling out paper work at the doctors office, it asked about problems at school. I just marked it and said what was going on, Dr. Aldrich was the first to bring to my attention, that perhaps Bryceton has ADD. He went over a short check list and everything sort of clicked. The things he was describing as symptoms all applied to Bryceton. He can't focus! I never even realized. I feel pretty bad for punishing him for something he couldn't help. The doctor gave his teacher and I some tests to fill out on him and return then we will go from there. I never thought I would hope something would be wrong with my kid, but I do hope this is the answer so we can help him be the smart little boy I know he is, and make those grades I know he is capable of.

All in all everything is in God's hands. I have prayed repeatedly to know what to do, and still am unsure.
